[Top 15] Destiny 2 Best Crafted Weapons That Wreck Hard!
Players can now craft their favorite weapons in destiny 2 thanks to the new Witch Queen expansion. Destiny players have been treated to various new mechanics, features, and experiences throughout the years. Still, few expected to see a full-fledged crafting system added to the ever-evolving title.
Here's a list of 15 top-tier craftable weapons you should craft and level up for the best PvP and PvE experience.
15. Red Herring (Best for PvE)
The Red Herring is a great rocket launcher and a god-roll weapon worth working for. Rockets will virtually jump out of the tube if there is a blast radius or velocity skill with the quick launch and high-velocity rounds in the first two slots.
Regarding the best roll, the last column perks of the tracking module and lasting impression are perfect since they allow you to continue firing the lasting impression rocket while chaining the effects of special weapons like Izanagi's Burden.
PvE God roll:
- Haft: Quick Launch
- Magazine: Impact Casing
- Perk 1: Tracking Module
- Perk 2: Lasting Impression
How to get it:
Red Herrings can be obtained in Destiny 2 by opening chests, doing public events, and receiving engrams after increasing your reputation rank with Fynch. It is a weapon from The Witch Queen DL C. Thus, you must complete activities on the throne world to obtain it. To get the Red Herring weapon pattern, complete and extract materials from one Deepsight Resonance Red Herring. After that, the weapon can be created via the Enclave on Mars and used to level it up.
14. The Epicurean (Best for PvE)
Regarding craftable weapons, fusion rifles are typically a good choice because they still deal respectable damage in both PvP and PvE, even after the nerfs in Season of the Lost. This Season, the Epicurean is back as one of the Opulent weapons, although farming it for Patterns requires access to the Duality dungeon.
Feeding Frenzy and Backup Plan are two of this fusion rifle's most sought perks.
Players still using Void builds from the previous Season might want to think about having this one crafted and leveled because it pairs nicely with any builds that depend on Void wells and damage.
PvE God roll:
- Barrel: Smallbore
- Magazine: Particle repeaters
- Perk 1: Stats For All
- Perk 2: One For All
PvP God roll:
- Barrel: Hammer-Forged Rifling
- Magazine: Liquid Coils
- Perk 1: Surplus
- Perk 2: Rangefinder
How to get it:
The Epicurean and its Deepsight version are available from Duality's first and final encounters. The Fusion Rifle is statistically easier to obtain in the first encounter because there are only five possible awards, but the final encounter has twelve potential rewards.
After obtaining The Epicurean, You can get this weapon from the first secret chest found inside the area with four Cabal statues. The second hidden chest in Duality lies near the tenth Repressed Memory location, which may be inside Calus' vault shortly after the second confrontation is completed.
13. Sweet Sorrow (Best for PvE)
Sweet sorrow is an auto rifle that feels fantastic irrespective of its perks, but it can only get better. Depending on your ability to manage recoil and arrowhead break in the first slot, your shot will either be stable or at a great range. In the second spot, accurate or steady shots should be used, depending on your level of recoil comfort.
With the stats for all, one for all combination, this Season of the risen auto rifle feels ridiculous, and that's presuming Arc 3.0 itself provides any handling or reload improvements.
PvE God roll:
- Barrel: Arrowhead Brake
- Magazine: Tactical Mag
- Perk 1: Stats For All
- Perk 2: One For All
PvP God roll:
- Barrel: Arrowhead Brake
- Magazine: Accurized Rounds
- Perk 1: Perpetual Motion
- Perk 2: Tap the Trigger
How to get it:
You can get sweet sorrow in Destiny 2 by completing PsiOps Battlegrounds operations from the H.E.L.M. and the War Table via Umbral Engrams. Deepsight Resonance Sweet Sorrows can also be obtained via the War Table, making it easier to meet the weapon pattern requirements.
12. Likely Suspect (Best for PvP)
Fusion rifles are powerful in PvP and PvE, and Likely Suspect has excellent rolls. Even after the nerfs to Firmly Planted, Likely Suspect is currently at the top of the PvP charts. It has enhanced versions of the Firmly Planted and Successful Warm-up perks, which can offer up to 50% quicker Charge Time in addition to Handling.
PvP God roll:

- Return to Fynch and collect the Likely Suspect
11. Lubrae’s Ruin (Best for PvE)
While it takes numerous deepsight resonance drops from the Vow of the Disciple raid, this heavy weapon is one of the more challenging to obtain, and it is well worth the effort. Glaives are undoubtedly very powerful right now in the game, and this one is the only legendary arc version available.
Low impedance windings and an extended magazine are advised for the first two slots due to the larger shields and additional rounds in the magazine. After that, you can choose swashbuckler, wellspring, unstoppable force, surrounded for the fourth position, turnabout, tilting at windmills, or grave robber for the third.
The Lubrae's Ruin Full Details
PvE God roll:

- Perk 1: Grave Robber
- Perk 2: Swashbuckler
How to get it:
Players can earn Lubrae's Ruin from only one encounter in the Vow of the Disciple (VoD) raid. Because this is the only other arc legendary glaive in Destiny 2, it is undoubtedly a sought-after weapon. However, players will only be able to obtain this weapon after defeating VoDs' final boss battle. Lubrae's Ruin can only drop once during VoD, but other weapons can drop two to three times. You can unlock the crafting pattern by successfully removing 5 Deepsight Resonances from this weapon.
10. Submission (Best for PvE)
S.M.G.s, particularly on mouse and keyboard, are challenging to outperform as primary weapons. Submission is another Vow Of The Disciple raid weapon that will take some work to unlock, but once you do, you'll love it.
Players will have difficulty arguing for the need for other perks when Subsistence and Frenzy are both available as Enhanced Perks for this weapon. It's an excellent S.M.G. for PvE gamers who like mid-range gameplay.
PvE God roll:

- Magazine: Tactical Mag

PvP God roll:

The crafting pattern can be unlocked by successfully extracting 5 Deepsight Resonances from this weapon.
9. Explosive Personality (Best for PvP and PvE)
Wave-frame grenade launchers are incredible. If you disagree or haven’t tried one out yet, then the Explosive Personality grenade launcher may be the perfect place to get acquainted or reacquainted with the archetype.
First and foremost, you'll need a reload speed or velocity masterwork and quick launch and high-velocity bullets in the first two slots. If you're breaking opponent shields, Genesis will come in handy because you won't need to reload. When you switch to whatever kinetic you're using, disruption break will synergize with genesis to deal some ridiculous damage.

Finally, if you accomplish five Deepsight Resonance extractions on this weapon, you will be able to unlock the crafting pattern as well.
8. Palmyra-B (Best for PvE)
Regarding dealing with bosses and Champions, Palmyra-B is at the top of the D.P.S. ratings. If you CAN temporarily put Gjallarhorn aside, Palmyra-B has some excellent perks like an auto-loading holster and explosive light.

Unlike other firearms that need crafting, You must complete the Shaping Resonany Alloys side quest to unlock the Palmyra-B pattern.
7. Piece of Mind (Best for PvP)
This pulse rifle was introduced as one of the seasonal weapons in season 16 and is much more than it first appears to be. Due to its powerful Land Tank Origin Trait, which increases Resilience, Piece of Mind has even received a lot of love in PvP when entirely crafted and leveled.
For the first Enhanced Perk column, Heating Up is a necessity. Players can choose Moving Target for the second option, but more exciting options, such as Vorpal Weapon, can be helpful in PvP.

The pattern for crafting must be unlocked by completing 5 Deepsight Resonance extractions from this weapon.
6. Insidious (Best for PvE)
Insidious is a weapon only available in the Vow of the Disciple raid. This Arc pulse rifle may be the next best thing when Season 18 and Arc 3.0 arrive, so it's highly suggested that players obtain it to ensure they have at least one Arc weapon that accepts primary ammo.
It is one of the few weapons with perk combos such as one for all and dragonfly. With this combo, this weapon can handle any form of ad clearing, especially when combined with the arch subclass. It's an excellent pulse that feels nice in most conditions.

After the Caretaker and Rhulk encounters, reward chests also contain a chance to receive the Insidious weapon pattern.
5. Drang (Baroque) (Best for PvP)
No matter what players may think about returning weapons, it's hard to argue against the worth of the Drang sidearm, given the Enhanced Perks it can get. The Drang sidearm is another Opulent weapon that is returning for season 17. Although it is a sidearm, it can be a beast in PvP and PvE with certain perks.
On this weapon, Quickdraw and Rampage are the best perks. Although it is not as effective in PvE but it is a beast in PvP.

4. Cataclysmic (Best for PvE)
While linear fusions enjoyed some popularity during Season of the Lost, that doesn't mean they aren't still applicable now. Cataclysmic is another raid weapon, so you know it will offer some great perk combos.
Cataclysmic offer some exciting perks, including No Distractions to reduce flinch during those intense boss damage stages where landing critical hits are crucial. Clown Cartridge or High-Impact Reserves are the options in the second column, with Clown Cartridge being more advantageous in PVE.

3. Forbearance (Best for PvE)
Without a doubt, Forbearance is the best ad-clearing grenade launcher in the game. It is the only wave frame grenade launcher that can roll with the chain reaction perk, which is a blast for ad clearing. Although it is a weapon particular to the Vow of the Disciple raid, it is one of those weapons that is worthwhile spending time.
You can combine Chain Reaction and Ambitious Assassin perks to unleash two powerful shots quickly, giving you an unheard-of add-clear for a Legendary weapon. You will need five patterns to craft this weapon.

- Perk 2: Chain Reaction

2. Beloved (Best for PvP)
Beloved, the renowned sniper rifle from the Season of Opulence, is back in season 17, and you can craft this weapon with Enhanced Perks. This sniper rifle is a must-have for anyone who enjoys playing snipers in the Crucible, though it will require some hard grinding and favorable RNG to unlock.
The traditional Enhanced perk options will be Snapshot Sights and Quickdraw, but if players are worried about the recent nerfs to Snapshot Sights, they can change the first column to something else.

1. Austringer (Best for PvP)
Unquestionably the most well-liked weapon currently available for crafting, Austringer returned in season 17 as a weapon you can craft with enhanced perks. Some claim that this hand cannon, when equipped with enhanced perks, might even outperform the infamous Eyasluna, but in the end, it all comes down to preference and playstyle.
Outlaw and Rangefinder are two essential perks for Austringer. Despite this, some players prefer an aggressive playstyle and may choose a game like Eye of the Storm. Players should craft this monstrous hand cannon, especially those who take PVP seriously.
PvP God roll:
- Barrel: Hammer-Forged Rifling
- Magazine: High-Caliber Rounds
- Perk 1: Outlaw or Snapshot Sights
- Perk 2: Rangefinder

If you have the necessary upgrades, you can also focus it on the Crown of Sorrow in the H.E.L.M. after earning your first copy.
You'll need five weapons with red borders to unlock the pattern to finish the Deepsight Resonance Objective.
